Alen Hanson finished 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's loss against Cleveland.

It was especially impressive, as the young infielder from the D.R. collected his double off of All-Star Corey Kluber. There's something about Cleveland pitching that agrees with him, as he has back-to-back multi-hit games. Jul 30 - 12:26 AM

Alen Hanson is back atop the White Sox lineup for Saturday afternoon's showdown against Marcus Stroman and the Blue Jays.

Hanson was inserted into to leadoff spot when Leury Garcia was scratched on Friday and responded by going 3-for-4 with a walk, steal and three runs scored. While he's unlikely to repeat that massive line, he's worth a look as a punt play in DFS. Jun 17 - 9:21 AM

Alen Hanson went 3-for-4 with a walk, a steal and three runs scored as the White Sox's leadoff man Friday.

Hanson was making his second start since being claimed off waivers from the Pirates a week ago. He also homered off the bench on Wednesday, so he should be looking at more playing time between second base and the outfield. He needs to be owned in AL-only leagues. Jun 16 - 11:29 PM

White Sox claimed 2B Alen Hanson off waivers from the Pirates.

Hanson was once a pretty highly thought of prospect, but he's hit just .205/.239/.261 during his chances in the majors and his minor league numbers had also regressed. Still, he's just 24 and there should be some playing time available for him in Chicago. Jun 9 - 3:21 PM

Charlis Tilson has been diagnosed with a stress fracture in his right ankle.

Tilson, who had finally recovered from the stress reaction in his right foot, had been expected to begin a minor league rehab assignment in early July, but complained of pain in his ankle while rehabbing in Arizona. He'll now be shut down completely for four weeks before he's re-evaluated. It's starting to look like it'll be a lost season for the speedy outfielder.

Avisail Garcia (wrist) was scratched from the White Sox's lineup Thursday against the Rangers.

Alen Hanson will slot in at right field and bat eighth versus Rangers hurler Tyson Ross. Garcia has had a hard time staying healthy in the second half, missing time with a thumb injury last month and now battling left wrist soreness. Consider him day-to-day.

Garcia suffered the fracture (and a concussion) in a nasty collision with teammate Yoan Moncada on Monday night. He will undergo surgery to insert a plate into the jaw and is expected to be sidelined for 4-6 weeks.

Reynaldo Lopez left Thursday's start against the Rangers with tightness in his right side.

He'll be reevaluated on Friday. Lopez had a rough night, allowing five hits, six runs (five earned) and four walks with six strikeouts before exiting with one out in the fifth inning. The 23-year-old has pitched to a mediocre 6.10 ERA in two starts since getting called up from Triple-A Charlotte earlier this month.

Chris Beck left Thursday's game against the Rangers with a bruised right shoulder.

It's been a rough night for White Sox pitchers with Reynaldo Lopez (side) and now Beck both going down with injuries. Beck, who came on in relief of Lopez in the fifth, took an Adrian Beltre line drive off his shoulder and allowed a two-run homer to Nomar Mazara before exiting. Those were the only two batters he faced. Beck sports an ugly 5.87 ERA over 46 relief innings this year. He's day-to-day.

Nate Jones underwent season-ending surgery on his right elbow on Tuesday.

It was a nerve repositioning procedure, not Tommy John surgery or any other sort of ligament repair, which will hopefully translate to Jones being ready for the start of spring training next February. The 31-year-old right-hander logged just 11 relief appearances for the White Sox in 2017, to the tune of a 2.31 ERA. He's due $3.95 million from Chicago in 2018.
